"RB Mike Davis of S. Carolina is solidly built, with good feet, is an underrated pass catcher. He gets lost in convos, but I'm enjoying his tape," Davis tweeted. The South Carolina prospect was used effectively as a safety valve receiver, and was utilized on dump-offs, screens and controlled routes. In 2014, Davis recorded 33 receptions for 368 yards and two scores. Mar 3 - 2:16 PM

South Carolina RB Mike Davis revealed that supporting his mother is a main reason in why he left college for the NFL.

Davis seemed destined to enter this year's draft even before the 2014 season started. It might not have been his best season, but expect Davis to be selected in the third- or fourth-round, barring unforeseen circumstances. Feb 16 - 11:16 AM

"[Davis'] low center of gravity, balance and power make him an ideal finisher," wrote the analyst. "With 'just' 982 rushing yards this season, Davis wasn't able to match last year's breakout performance. His no-nonsense game, however, projects well to the next level." The 5-foot-9, 223-pound Davis announced last week that he will declare for the 2015 NFL Draft. This year's running back class is outstanding, featuring elite prospects and good overall depth. That might be bad news for the Gamecock prospect. Sun, Dec 28, 2014 06:19:00 PM

Davis failed to crack 1,000 rushing yards in his final collegiate season and last broke the century mark two-and-a-half months ago. We've also been disappointed by the on-field sluggishness we've seen. "Davis has the compact, physical build for the NFL, running behind his pads and low to the ground to violently work off contact and finish runs," Brugler wrote. "He carries the ball with easy burst and an aggressive mentality, but runs into his own blockers too often and his vision and anticipation showed some rust as a junior. Davis has a versatile skill-set to be an effective receiver with soft hands and experience running routes. However, his work ethic and durability need vetting before a team invests a pick as high as his talent says he should go." The 5-foot-9, 223-pound Davis grades out as as the No. 7 RB in the 2015 class by NFLDraftScout.com, which projects him to go in the top-75. We wouldn't be shocked if he slips into Day 3.
